Description

Custom trucks are all about bringing something unique to the party. This 1951 Chevrolet 3100 is distinct both inside and out, but it never loses the design touches that made this pickup an icon.

This is the exact right pickup to be chopped. The pickup bed combined with the lowered roof to look like you grabbed a classic 3100 and put it through the taffy puller. But that's far from the only custom touch. Frenched in headlights, modern aerodynamic side mirrors, new integrated door handles, bow tie bed cover, custom real wood bed, and a tailgate with Chevy's "Heartbeat" motto – all of this makes for an unforgettable pickup. You may have also noticed that the body is 100% chrome-free. That's a bold move to really highlight the high gloss red, and it also is a great was to showcase just how straight the body is. Of course we can't have a cool pickup without at least some brightwork, and that's why the iconic American Racing Torq Thrust wheels are such standouts. Plus, their staggered size gives this unique pickup an aggressive forward-leaning stance.

Inside it's more bold red, but now that has to do with the comfortable cloth on the custom bucket seats. This material matches the carpet, door panels, headliner, and even the custom center console that integrates cup holders and even a CB radio. This unit seamlessly flows up to the dashboard, where it meets a full set of gauges, and then ends at the AM/FM/CD stereo head unit. The driver's seat is truly a command position with a later model Chevy three-spoke steering wheel and a large AutoMeter SportComp tach with shift light by your side.

Under the hood is a trusty and powerful Chevy 350 cubic-inch V8. The motor that is loved because they are infinitely upgradeable, and this one already has performance goodies such as an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and intake. The motor makes plenty of power, and you've got the best seat to hear it from because the dual exhaust exits on each side right behind the cab doors. But this pickup is set up for more than just power. The TH350 three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and front disc brakes on the late model front clip are the kind of features that can keep you happy over the long haul...and makes this ride like a car.
